Introduction
Much has been said about NVIDIA’s RTX GPUs. Be it you agree with the popular opinion or not, the point is NVIDIA’s RTX GPUs are here to stay and the industry is better off for that.Let’s not forget, someone had to build the first Ray Tracing capable GPU on the market and NVIDIA has done so in the same way they built the world’s first GPU 20 years ago.

Cooler Master today announced the release of their new ATX 24 Pin 90° Adapter. Building a PC is about more than just getting all the parts to work. Each custom designed, home built system is a personal experience that expresses the needs and desires of the builder in terms of both performance and aesthetics. This new adapter is the latest way that Cooler Master is helping people express themselves through the building of PCs.
Be it by coincidence or a deliberate effort on Corsair’s end, the hydro AIO cooling solutions have become the default or go-to performance cooler for DIY gaming builds.
Cooler Master peripherals, as with most of their products in the last two year or so, have made great strides. From high end offerings to the more affordable options, Cooler Master seems to be able to cater to all price segments in a way that few if any other peripherals vendor can. Making high end peripherals isn’t easy but it is simpler than dealing with the more budget offerings of the price sensitive market. Cooler Master seems to have pulled it off or at least come to a winning formula with surprisingly great products at an alarmingly low price. The Cooler Master CK550 RGB is testament to this and it’s not difficult to see why.
